Sounds to me like the engine will hold up to just about anything.

"What makes the brand-new V8 engine powering the 'Stang so potent is how engineers were able to allow the engine to breathe. All-new heads sit atop an all-new aluminum block with cast-iron cylinder sleeves. The wide distance between the heads allows for the intake ports to sit vertically on top of the engine. The engine features four valves per cylinder and twin independent variable valve timing. Tuned exhaust headers eliminate the need for aftermarket headers to let the engine breath better. Inside the engine are a forged-steel full counterweight crankshaft and four-bolt main bearings and high-performance pistons and connecting rods.
The new 5.0-liter Mustangs can be fitted with either the 6R80 automatic transmission or the MT82 six-speed manual."

why is that? this would only last until we run into the first corner, whereby i will successfully cut the apex and fly off into the horizon, while the antiquated mustang will spin out and crash into a ditch

i'm canadian. ford is no more "domestic" than a fiat.

Ok ... stop fooling yourself... the thing has 400 ponies... thats a LOT... it will rape you in the high end and i am sure there exists a track where the stang would beat the piss out of the Z... and vice versa... but if you are talking about which car is going to be more rewarding to drive / feel / live etc - thats a different story...

Here is an article comparing the 2

don't get me wrong, I love my Z, and in stock forum it will run circles around the mustang in a canyon cruise. On the other hand, I've owned 4 (modified) mustangs, and for very little money put into a few upgrades they can really shine. They really are a lot of bang for the buck, I beat the crap out of those cars and was really surprised at how well they held up to the abuse. Anyone that would disregard the 2011 Mustang with 400+HP as not being a real competitor, obviously lacks experience. We all know you can make any car go fast and handle good, it just takes money.
Not planning on trading in the Z anytime for a 2011 mustang though.

Pharmacist is from Canada though, so technically the Mustang isn't domestic. He's hating on an import!!!

typical american mentality. always obsessed with straight line speed. the only track where a mustang would win would be an oval. in fact that's the whole raison d'etre of the mustang, typical american design, just keep dropping bigger and bigger engines making more and more horsepower, while utilizing chassis and suspension design from the dinosaur era. mustang is no bargain, if anything it's incredibly overpriced for what you get. im sure if nissan dropped a 5 liter v8 it would make in excess of 450 hp and the z would smoke any mustang even in a straight line
